Indications suggest an Israeli soldier has been taken captive by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, the IDF Spokesman said Friday at noon, hours after a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire agreed upon by Israel and Hamas collapsed after holding for less than two hours.

The Headline above speaks volumes, as this is the way the game is played, at least by HAMAS. As it states, just 90 minutes into the ceasefire HAMAS detonates a suicide bomb and kidnapped an IDF soldier. HAMAS is, in short, a truce breaker. They can not ever be trusted. They have only one goal and it is the destruction of every Israeli…. period. The homicide bomber blew himself up in the name of Allah….crazy.

Added to this is the vitriolic statements by Iran’s president Rouhani, who is showing his true colors by calling Israel a festering tumor. Israeli president Bejamin Netanyahu has poignantly stated: Israel lives in a rough neighborhood. He knows what Israel is dealing with. Rouhani has only one goal and in keeping with his quote above, the tumor must be removed!

I landed in Los Angeles yesterday, from flying standby and changing planes in St. Paul, and then again in Salt Lake City, before arriving in LA. It was an exhausting trip and added to it was word that my cousin had passed away only a few hours earlier… tragic.

As I made my way toward baggage claim I was separated from the TSA check-point by a wall of glass. This is now common in most airports. I looked at the people lined up with their shoes off, waiting to be screened and as I did so my eyes rested on a Rabbi. He was on the other side of the screening and had just placed his large hat on his head. Our eyes met and I gave him a thumbs up. He looked at me inquisitively and I reinforced my gesture. Then he got it and his face broke out in a warm grin. I got chills…. My thumbs up was a way of showing him my support of Israel and the Jewish people.

When waiting for a plane in St. Paul, there was a young muslim couple. The wife was dressed in a full Burqa, with only her eyes showing. I’ve known what a Burqa looks like but I’ve never actually seen one worn by a woman before. She looked like a phantom, with only her dark eyes peering out from behind her black veil, which hid her face. She walked behind her husband as they boarded the plane. It was a very foreign site to me and I was unsettled by it. France has outlawed the Burqa and now I know why. http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2013/07/22/204506345/burka-ban-stirs-another-round-of-clashes-in-france

Then in Salt Lake there were two other Muslim women wearing veils. In all fairness the Amish have a peculiar way of dressing too, as the women wear long dresses or skirts and usually have their hair in a netted bun on top of their heads. Orthodox Jewish women, dress very modestly, but the women in the Burqa disturbed me. 20 years ago a sight like the one I was seeing would have been a rarity, now it seems to be common place. None of the other passengers waiting to board the plane seemed to notice the woman or were concerned by her.

So the question I have is this. We know radical Islam wants the destruction of the state of Israel and refers to Jews as pigs and apes. We also know that the hatred between Sunni moslem and Shia muslim is ongoing. This year during the feast of Ramadan 2,429 people were killed by Moslems who killed each other. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com We also have radicalized Islamists in our country like Major Hassan, the Fort Hood Shooter, who shouted Allah Akbar—God is great—as he gunned down innocent people in cold-blooded Jihad. http://www.cbsnews.com/feature/tragedy-at-fort-hood/ This is what is at the heart of todays blog. The spectra of radical Islam working it’s way into the USA and in my mind the Burqa clad women represented what is in reality a clash of civilizations.

I’ve been told their are moderate Moslems who decry this violence, but they seem strangely silent, perhaps because they know if they speak out they too will be killed?

Yet there is hope. When Messiah returns every eye will see Him and Moslems all over the world will see Him too. This is the game changer and the hope I have. When Muslims have an encounter with Yashua, their lives are transformed. I know because I’ve seen this for myself. Here’s a link to the Revival happening in Iran! http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2014/July/Persecution-Sparks-Revival-in-Iran/

These people need Messiah desperately but in the meantime the violence continues. The stats don’t lie…. Think about it.

It is extremely troublesome to me to see this kind of violence, as I posted a few days ago and again today. Below is a list of Terror attacks. I think the information speaks for itself and needs no commentary from me. Pray.

Gaza IDF Ground War PERSPECTIVE from Jim Searcy

________________________________________
Dear Friends – The following are 2 short items which will give a right perspective on the IDF Ground Operation in Gaza. The first is from a young IDF Soldier now on the ground in Gaza and the second from Brother Al Cuppett.

A young IDF soldier’s experience in Gaza!:

We went into Shuja’iya, to discover and destroy the Hamas’ terrorist tunnels. We discovered there an entire underground city, with multi-shaft, wide tunnels, with Wi-Fi & air-conditioning systems, concrete walls, and stocked to the ceiling with weapons and explosives. Some of the tunnels are so wide, that they can ride back and forwards on Vespa-type scooters.

And then came the worst! The Hamas “fighters” started sending towards us 13- and 14-year-old Palestinian children, running at us, wearing explosive-laden suicide-bomber belts!! Those children were death-trapped, and became human bombs, by the community’s adults!! We were trained to fight adult soldiers or any other skilled adults, enabling us to defend our families and countrymen. But this?? We had no other option but, in self-defense, to shoot them at as far a range from us as we could, before the “responsible adult” that sent them used his mobile phone to detonate the belts, and kill us.”

One of the injured soldiers ended up by saying, “I do not know if I’ll ever be able to sleep again; the pictures of those poor children, killed by my gun, will probably
never leave me!”

END – IDF Soldier Report AND From Brother Al Cuppett:

Dear Friends – Here is some very interesting and praiseworthy news about what God has done to save His Chosen people from total destruction. HAMAS’ PLANS FOR OUR ROSH HASHANA THIS YEAR … SEPT. 2014.

Last week, during one of the major tunnel discoveries, and excavation revealed some interesting plans for an organized attack against Israel. IDF uniforms were found in the tunnel as well as operation plans, weapons and detailed maps of Israeli communities. Later when 24 terrorists were apprehended, interrogation one of the prisoners revealed the rest of the details.

Here is what was revealed: “For twelve years we have been building these tunnels and waiting for the right moment, when we were trained and ready. We decided that the time would be this year on Rosh Hashana, 2014. We chose Rosh Hashana because most of the soldiers get leave to go home and there aren’t a lot on guard duty, and it’s a two day holiday. All of Hamas would go through the tunnels we’ve built over twelve years and capture Israel. In every tunnel we’d send two, three dozen armed terrorists and kidnap civilians, women, children and bring them back to Gaza through the tunnels. And then Israel couldn’t bomb the tunnels because of all the Israeli civilians inside them. And in this way we would occupy the entire country and rule Israel and kill all the Zionists. For years we were planning this and it was going to happen in two months. Your attacks on Gaza destroyed our plans.”

Let that sink in for a minute. Hamas was planning the largest massacre of Jews to ever take place on Israeli soil in modern times. This attack had been planned for 12 years (remember Mohammad Deif?). Tunnel construction was a key element in their plans for conducting this successful massacre. Thousands of Hamas terrorists were going to creep into the moshavim and kibbutzim of in the south of the country disguised as Israeli soldiers. Some of the Israeli civilians (women and children specifically) would be kidnapped, to serve as human shields in the tunnels, while most were to be slaughtered on sight. But that wasn’t a big enough operation for Hamas.

Simultaneously they would destroy the rest of the country by barrages of missiles, so that these Moslems would take over Israel. Hello? Is Israel conducting a righteous war right now? YHVH used the death of the three murdered Israeli teens to prepare the nation for war. The search for the three boys revealed the increasing threats in Judea and Samaria, as well as from the tunnels along the Gaza border.
Because of the sacrifice of these three young men, a massive slaughter of the Jews was avoided on Rosh Hashana this year. There you have it from the horse’s mouth … the intended use of the tunnels for terror attacks … the acceptable use of women and children as human shields … the goal of murdering Jews to take over their land. What other evidence does the world need? No wonder Benjamin Netanyahu and his Security Cabinet are taking a hard line against Hamas in this war!! They MUST! There is no turning back! –Pray that knowing that the sacrifice of their sons, saved thousands of Jewish lives, and uncovered the biggest interior threat against the nation, will comfort the families of the three murdered teens.

Pray that ANY OTHER/ EVERY OTHER terrorist plan and operation would be revealed, even as this one has been.

END – AlCuppett Report

And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Pray Psalm 83 every day. Only be very strong and of good courage. Stay IN the Word.

If, If the above planned attack on Rosh Hashana, 2014 would have taken place I think there is little doubt everything would have escalated quickly & we would have entered the last 7 years (Daniels 70th week).

But, with the possibility of it being averted I think it shows that we still have more time..

“I landed in Los Angeles yesterday, from flying standby and changing planes in St. Paul, and then again in Salt Lake City, before arriving in LA. It was an exhausting trip and added to it was word that my cousin had passed away only a few hours earlier… tragic.”

Thoughts, prayers, and love out to you and your family. May you all know the peace that passeth all understanding. 😦

Did we even get 12 hours out of this latest ceasefire? It’s unbelievable.

Now you have word coming out that the Pope is going to make some statement about E.Ts:

As you know, in the past there has been intentional deception on the part of some who specifically target the works of people like Tom Horn and Cris Putnam by posting fake 1-star reviews at Amazon. Frankly, it’s demonic. Amazon has become the #1 place on earth where people search for works that can help and broaden their understanding of God and the times in which we live. By posting false reviews, such people hope to distract and mislead as many from around the world as they can from finding the truth.

Evidently, this ratings war is on again. If you have read Cris Putnam’s “The Supernatural Worldview” (a work that Chuck Missler, Tom Horn and Gary Stearman have called one of the most important books in recent history) please consider offering an honest review at Amazon.com. Perhaps by contrasting the false reviews now being posted by people who did not even read the book, some will find the truth.

You cannot, ever, negotiate with Muslim terrorists. Israel tried, more than once. It just doesn’t work. They need to finish the job quickly and without doubt that Hamas is completely obliterated. The only peace will come when there is no enemy left to fight.

Matt is right……it has passed time to hold our fire hoping they will come to Jesus…..
Jesus brings His own to Himself and only He can fix those bozos. I wonder how many forced “martyrs” cry out to Christ in their hearts as they are shoved by Allah into death.

Those being killed need to know that Christ saved one of the thieves crucified next to Him.

Those that were muslim during their lives
– being slain by other muslims or by globalists
– need to hear that Christ will save them too in that instant
– if they’ll turn from the false prophet, false religion, and false god of islam
– and cry out to Him — who as the Son of God can save them to be with Him
– not as the false jesus of the qur’an, but as God who has also taken on flesh
– who has experienced torture, abandonment, and death as they do
– and resurrection, overcoming hell and death.

And they need not go through the death of the flesh alone…
– but He (Yeshua Messiah) will be with them in Spirit
– so that death has no hold on them
– though their body be destroyed they can ask even in their hearts
– that Christ receive their spirit to join His Spirit
– and again be rejoined to their resurrected body, like His.

➡ Yeshua Saves — out of every nation, tongue, tribe, and people !

Including ex-muslims (by faith), that truly turn to Him in their heart, even as they’re murdered.

Operation Protective Edge is exposing a new phenomenon that may prove to be a source of strength for the IDF and for Israel.

Col. Ofer Winter, commander of the Givati Infantry Brigade, recently wrote unprecedented words of encouragement to his soldiers: “History chose us to be the spearhead in the fight against the ‘Gazan’ terrorist enemy that defies, blasphemes, and curses the God of the armies of Israel.”

They were words that clearly echoed David’s own words to Goliath.

Winter added a brief prayer: “I lift up my eyes to heaven and call with you, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!'” The letter ended with a wish for the fulfillment of the verse “The Lord, your God, who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies and gives you victory.”

The content of Winter’s letter to his soldiers, as well as the courage it took to take this position, is yet another clear indication that the familiar secular discourse regarding Israel’s security is not enough to boost motivation to win the battle.

Some who are still captive to the idea that secular Zionism is the only adhesive that can unite all Israelis were horrified by Winter’s bold pronouncement that framed the Israeli-Arab conflict in metaphysical terms.

As a secular movement, however, Zionism sees Israel as a refuge for the Jewish people that must be protected at all costs. This was a strange idea to begin with, because the Zionist movement itself would have never come into being without the most profound hopes rooted in the Bible.

Jews returned to the Land of Israel because they believed it was theirs; otherwise they would have never come. This means that secular as the Zionist movement is, IT NEVER LOST SIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THE JEWS ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB AND THUS ENTITLED TO THE LAND GOD HAS GIVEN TO THEIR FATHERS.

For many decades, however, Israelis have been led to believe that the Israeli-Arab conflict is no more than a national struggle over territory, and that it will be better for all if God remains in the background. Israel’s existence, the argument goes, is justified on the basis of distant history and modern values.

BUT OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, A GROWING NUMBER OF ISRAELIS HAVE BEGUN COMING TO THE CONCLUSION THAT ISRAEL AND GOD ARE IN FACT INSEPARABLE, AND THAT THE EXISTENCE OF THE FORMER DEPENDS UPON THAT OF THE LATTER.

Israel’s existential crisis is naturally most potent amongst the soldiers preparing for battle. They are the ones who are forced to decide whether or not security and secular values of democracy, freedom of speech and human rights are enough to fill them with the courage and determination to risk their lives for the sake of Israel.

As the Second Lebanon War demonstrated, Israeli soldiers need deeper motivation than democracy and even national security to risk their lives in battle. If these are the only values Israel is fighting for, they reason, why not enjoy them in other countries without the need to go to war every couple of years?

THIS RELATIVELY NEW DISCOVERY CAN EXPLAIN WHY SO MANY SOLDIERS WERE GREATLY COMFORTED BY THE SIGHT OF RABBI DAVID GROSSMAN DISTRIBUTING HALF-SHEKEL COINS AND TINY BOOKS OF PSALMS TO THE SOLDIERS ENTERING LEBANON. IT ALSO EXPLAINS WHY DURING OPERATION CAST LEAD (2008-2009) GOLANI SOLDIERS WORE TZITZIYOT (TASSELS OR FRINGES ON THEIR GARMENTS – DEUT. 22:12), AND WHY THE GIVATI COMMANDER IS NOW REASSURING HIS SOLDIERS BY REMINDING THEM THAT THE GOD OF THEIR FATHERS IS THEIR GOD, TOO.

No doubt, many Israelis are still baffled by this new invitation for God to take the front seat. Many of us still believe that fighting in the name of an old book is the spark that will set fire to the region. These fears are fed by a failure to see that the Israeli-Arab conflict is a reenactment of ancient wars.

Indeed, it is a wonder why we Israelis find it so difficult to understand that rockets are fired towards Ashkelon and Ashdod because the indigenous people of these cities want them back. Why it is so difficult for us to understand that the Philistines hated Joshua just as the Palestinians hated Ben Gurion?

Then and now, wars between the indigenous people of the land and the invading armies of Israel have nothing to do with Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish democracy. The existence of the Jewish state in this land and its right to exist can only be justified by divine mandate.
Col. Ofer Winter and many others like him begin to realize that Israel’s uniqueness is something worth fighting for.

I had an individual scream at me that I was a Christian Zionist a few days ago. Truly, I called myself a Christian but had never referred myself as a Zionist. In fact, I was going to research the term “Zionist” so I could adequately.

Truly horrifying. I wonder about them going to hide in the tunnels when the IDF finally has enough of their “truces” and realizes that the evil “Lucy-ferians” will always pull the football back.
The poor, poor used children…….sigh.
I bet there are more rabbit holes on the Gaza side for just that purpose but hamas won’t tell their cannon fodder civilians that there is any chance for refuge under ground and Israel should be very careful going in after it seems to be over.
And I wonder if the muslims know that the name hamas in English sounds like pork butt 🙂

Two of the more horrific bombings blamed on the Israelis were of eight killed in a kindergarten and the outpatient clinic of Gaza’s Shifa Hospital. But IDF quickly called it self-inflicted by Islamic Jihad whose rockets, concealed in these two locations, misfired.

Hamas militants in Palestine are hammering out a new arms deal with communist North Korea to obtain the missiles and communication equipment the militants need to keep up their offensive against Israel, a British newspaper reports, and Hamas has already made an initial cash down payment to set the deal.

In addition, reports The Telegraph, Israeli military commanders believe North Korean experts gave Hamas advice on building tunnels in Gaza that have allowed fighters to move their weapons undetected.

Military experts believe North Korea has had a series of invasion tunnels for years to allow it to secretly invade South Korea, reports The New York Times.

Now the Turks are saying they may send a flotilla of ships to Gaza loaded
with “humanitarian” aid, this one to be protected by the Turkish Navy. The last flotilla was such a roaring success, the Turks want to try it again…..
These are the same Turks providing arms, training, and cash to ISIS and AQ in Syria where over 170,000 civilians have been killed, many by the arms supplied by the US, Turkey, and Qatar. These are the same Turks that continue their genocide against the Kurds. These are the same Turks Israel should send to the bottom of the Med.
Ah well, unfortunately, when this boy king is gone as our president, it will be WW3 that we will have to contend with. Can we all say Thank You BHO for making the world a safer place for extreme Islam.

Let’s not be too rash, I’m still holding out for negotiations, while nothing should be off the table, the Lord intervening at this point might be a but premature and besides, I’m only have way through my bucket list and I just bought a boat.

And the nations were angry…
– and thy wrath is come [i.e. The Wrath of The Lamb of God]
– and the time of the dead that they should be judged
– and that thou should give reward
– unto thy servants the prophets
– and to the saints
– and them that fear thy name, small and great
– and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

No doubt Y’shua returns for many reasons…
– destroying the destroyers may be the least notable in the long run

I believe that contamination from the enemy angels may be the reason for this physical world and the heavens to pass away “in fiery heat.”

2nd Peter 3:10-12

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night… [cp. Rev. 16:15, 6th Vial]
– in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise
– and the elements shall melt with fervent heat
– the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved…
– what manner of persons ought ye to be
– in all holy conversation and godliness

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God
– wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved
– and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Nevertheless we, according to his promise…
– look for new heavens and a new earth
– wherein dwelleth righteousness.

But compared with what’s coming next, all that will seem like child’s play. A new technology just announced today has the potential to wipe out diseases, turn back evolutionary clocks, and reengineer entire ecosystems, for better or worse.

The foiling of a Hamas plot to launch a major attack on Israel during Rosh Hashanah is nothing short of a miracle, according to Gidi Grinstein, founder of the Reut Institute and an advocate for Israeli security.

It “is a miracle for us. Just imagine that the United States of America would’ve been able to identify the plot to do the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center just before it happened. This is what happened to us,” Grinstein said Friday on “The Steve Malzberg Show”

Security sources told NRG that the terror group, a sworn enemy of Israel, planned to use its complex system of tunnels under the Israel-Gaza border to send hundreds of terrorists to western Negev towns to kidnap and murder as many Israelis as possible.

The plan was uncovered in time and stopped by an Israel Defense Forces operation in Gaza.

“Hamas was preparing the infrastructure for a huge, unprecedented terrorist attack. They were preparing the capability to take over entire communities in the southern area of Israel and perhaps go even deeper into Israel,” Grinstein said.

“We are talking about a capability to bring in dozens and dozens of terrorists under the patrol lines, under the fence, straight into the communities. There were attack tunnels that went under schools, under homes in these communities.

“What we are seeing is a lot of people actually believe that this is a miracle that happened to us.”

Then we have the good old USA sending millions to the Palestinians for “humanitarian works”, which translates into humans digging tunnels and manning rocket launchers. Obongo is their patron saint, handing over millions of our tax dollars…..Hamas, Hezbollah and the rest of the vermin need to be routed out and killed. They are an existential threat to Israel. They, and the Muslim world in general, have shown time and again that they can’t live with civilized people or nations….The insanity of “multiculturalism” exhibited in many nations, including the U.S., is an suicidal invitation to Muslims to enter the country and destroy it….the root of the problem I believe is that the radical minority of Muslims have so much oil wealth that they can dominate Islamic culture world-wide. Instead of spending their money to help fellow Muslims, they exploit them by radicalizing them and manipulating them.
Even here in the US, the Saudis manage to dominate the Islamic establishment. Muslim immigrants to the US are often dismayed to find that American Islam is run by the same fundamentalists they came here to escape. Maybe we should start by trying to shut down the Islamists in the US…like that would ever happen, a pipe dream. Look at France they are so besieged by radical Muslims in that country they are afraid to make any political moves that would enrage the Muslim community, remember a few years ago the backlash of preventing wearing of rag head gear in schools? That is minor compared to if perhaps French backed Israel,,,politics for the most part are now dictated in France by the Muslim community, This is what happens when you don’t secure the borders, you get over run, and it changes the political and religious views of your nation. In a 10 miles radius near my home there are 7 mosques 2 of which I am faced with driving by on the way to work every day , they get quite a turn out, I usually see 200 to 300 men milling about outside, Does anyone really know what they are doing and saying in those places? They could be plotting the destruction the US and no one would ever know.

Matt,
No doubt they are plotting our destruction. But of course that makes me a racist in some people’s view. The same people who will not admit we are in a “religious” war, spiritual battle for our survival. These mosques are built in areas that the Muslims claim is theirs. Which is not true of course. But they will kill us if we don’t “submit” to them which is what the word Islam means, and let them take our land. And they keep coming and coming. And the liberal judges keep ruling in their favor. Fools. All fools!

The race baiting game is all about labeling someone a racist if they happen to be for law and order. If you want the illegal sent back because our Infrastructure can’t handle all these people you are a labeled a racist? If you support Israel right to defend themselves from rocket attack, you are a racisit…the list goes on and on. They play the race card quite well and it usually stops folks in there tracks and silences them completely. No one wants to be falsely labeled a racist. You have Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Quanell X ,Rev Wright all master race baiters

As LA said in a previous blog, it is a supernatural hatred for the jews that seems to drive these events. And how are these gaza tunnels funded? I pray not with US tax dollars. As in abortion funding, this must be so offensive to the Lord. Like the locusts of Rev. 9 coming from the ground, Hamas is taking it’s inspiration from the wrong side.

I found this interesting interview about the real location of Mt Sinai being in Saudi Arabia, a land where the bible is forbidden. The Moses parallels to Jesus are fascinating, but I don’t know what to conclude from this.

The UN chairwoman criticized the U.S. for helping fund Israel’s Iron Dome system which has saved countless Israeli and Palestinian lives. “No such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling,” she said.

Just because Hamas fires rockets indiscriminately aimed at Israeli civilian population centers without provocation and fires them from within its own population centers does not “absolve” Israel from its own legal violations, Pillay told reporters Thursday.

Marking the end of her contentious, six-year term as chairman of the notoriously anti-Israel UNHRC, Pillay saved her harshest condemnations for what she termed Israeli “targeting” of UN-run schools and hospitals in Gaza. She did not mention, nor was she reminded by any of the reporters present, that as of this writing, at least three UN-run schools in Gaza have been used as rocket warehouses, a gross violation of international law that clearly falls within the category of war crimes. Neither did she mention, nor was she reminded, that in at least two of the three cases cited above, the terror rockets found on UN property in Gaza were returned to Hamas by the UN.

The UNHRC has never formally mentioned “Hamas” by name, let alone condemned it.

From 2006 through 2012, Israel was formally condemned by the UNHRC at least 47 times.

Well, here is reason number 3,457 why the US should leave and stop funding the UN and kick them out of NYC.

Most of these people in the UN are paid for appointed positions. Just look at the ones the US appoints, we appoint for political favors. These unelected people at the UN has taken too much control of the world…I have a feeling that this is perhaps Obamas next stop. Obama will need a platform to continue to push his agenda and legacy after he leaves office. Doesn’t Ban Ki-moon’s term end in 2017? Interesting…

WASHINGTON – House Republicans revived their bill on the U.S.-Mexico border crisis in dramatic fashion Friday, passing it on a near party-line vote after winning over conservatives with tough new provisions that could threaten deportation for hundreds of thousands of immigrants already working in this country legally. President Barack Obama condemned the Republican action and said he’d act unilaterally, as best he could.

Simply amazing the clown Obama has answers and resources to secure every country but the USA. Simply amazing!
This really means nothing as Obama will veto any bill that hinders the flow of future citizens and party members from entering the U.S..
There is no way I will even consider the possibliity that king barry has ever read the Contitution. That he hates it is obvious by the company he keeps and the actions he takes. Reading and Writing just aren’t his thing. Destroying America is his thing. He is a puppet dancing to the Progressives in charge.

I have troubles, doubts and fears that the enemies of my soul only wants to see grow into much larger troubles, doubts and fear. It is so very easy to allow the negative things in life drag me down and put it’s boot on my neck to hold me there but I know if I really and truly want to continue to be a vessel the Lord can work through I must be willing to allow the Holy Spirit to reach down and pull me back up. The enemies know that on my own, I could never do that and would fail miserably trying on my own strength.

The enemies will do all they can to discourage any and all thought of true Hope to enter my paradigm but allow I must if I ever want to be useful for His calling on my life.

In the early days of my new life in Christ, I literally wanted to be here during the End Times to be a Witness to the lost. Now that I am 50, I just want to go Home. I am tired. I have troubles, doubts and fear as I keep up with current events and every day trials of just…living. I can allow myself to be depressed or I can allow the Holy Spirit to live THROUGH me as He says to me, “Do not fear. Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you by my Righteous right hand”.

This is the road I am freely choosing to take. My enemies can go to eternal Hell.

I really liked this post, that’s really putting it out there Jeff D.
I understand how you must feel. It’s really gets discouraging when one is bombarded by such horrible news on a daily basis. Sometimes its best to turn the news off, unplug and detox yourself from the 24 hour news cycle. I am a news hound so when I go back home to visit the folks, I try to layoff the news for a few days, no internet, TV, talk radio, everything off for my own sanity and health. I don’t always succeed in my attempts. Funny thing is the whole town that I’m visiting seems to have no clue what is happening in the world and for the most part don’t seem to care one way or the other, for some reason im shocked by that. I get frustrated trying to talk to them about world events and they look at me like a deer in the headlights…nothing. I get nothing, just crickets chirping and blank stares. …but somehow I walk away thinking, why they do they seem so peaceful and I’m always so angry.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

The United States tortured al Qaida detainees captured after the 9/11 attacks, President Obama acknowledged Friday, in some of his most expansive comments to date about a controversial set of CIA practices that he banned after taking office.

“We tortured some folks,” Obama said at a televised news conference at the White House on Friday.

Here we go, the dog and pony show, a little slight of hand…We all knew this was coming right? I was wondering why this was taking so long… This is right out of Obama’s thug handbook o’ politics 101 from Chicago….Why is Obama bringing this up now? All hell is breaking lose around the world and this is all he’s got? This is worth a press conference? There is reason for this madness… #1. He needs a distraction from the illegal immigration mess he created; #2. Wants to put more blame on the prior administration for anything he can; #3. Distract from the mess he created in the middle east; #4. Divert more attention to Republicans as being the cause of all his problems…
Obama doesn’t know what torture is…. Torture is having to jump from a 110 story building because the plane that just rammed it is causing way too much heat for you to take anymore….torture is having hundreds of missiles raining down on your head everyday from a terrorist group, torture is getting blown out of the sky on a commercial jet as you leave for vacation, torture is being a teenager walking home from school and being kidnapped then murdered, and torture is having a fool for a president for 8 years…
Obama’s definition of torture is not being able to watch ESPN every day, play golf every weekend or take a vacation every month. And of course if you ask Mr president, he would say the Islamic Jihadists don’t torture Americans, and I agree, they just behead them on utube.

Hi L A Just read your blog about women wearing Burqa. I until recently lived in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England in predominantly Muslim area. Women wearing Burqa became a common ocurance. It is unnerving when you see them walking about even more so driving cars. If I remember one of the London bombers escaped by wearing a Burqa. We left Bradford last year because we felt more and more like a stranger. Also last year my wife had a dream about driving down Manchester Road (one the main roads into Bradford) when we were stopped by armed Muslim men with guns checking cars. I had read a report that Muslim’s want to establish Shia law in 12 city’s including Bradford. So this coupled with dream and living in the inner city near Manchester Road we sold our house and moved to Scotland in Dumfries and Galloway.We have a AOG church in the town where we have be warmly welcomed. A few weeks ago I was asked to speak about the situation in the Middle East, this would not have happened in our previous church. I read your blogs and they are like a breath of fresh air compared to bias the news media try to feed us. Keep up the good work and praying for you. Rod
